Hawkeye Fiberglass Buggies

Hawkeye Buggies started several years ago building their own style Buggy Bodies. The primary reason was to insure

quality and durability. As anyone knows now days, shipping results in more damage than a good delivery. I saw several bodies that arrived at Neil's place broken, chipped, cracked - you know what I mean. These bodies would come in for a tube frame but nothing could be done cause of damage. Neil took the idea even further than just make a body. Neil designed his new hood with ridges to not only to give a new fresh look but the ridges also provide strength to help the hood holds its shape for many years to come. This theory is why there are form lines in the metal cars you drive, its provides the "memory" to the metal. Neil went a step further. He did not copy a body but took a body and used a lazor to get everythiing straight and correct. There was a lot of hours that went into this step but when you see the bodies coming ot of the mold, you realize this was time well spent.

The dash on the Hawk is Neil's personal design. There is plenty of room for instrumentation and a radio if you shoose to have it. The overall result is a clean thick buggy with true form and function. And the results of the quality is evident in the number orders coming in! Neil takes the step even further. he can buld you a tube frame to put your pride and joy on. These frames are rugged and completely safe. I know, I had one of these frames and I can tell you there is no flex or failure. As you can see in the picture to the left that this provides one well built and beautiful buggy. If you ever get a chance to come to one of our local buggy blast you will find a whole lines of these little beauties!

This particular build was just right for me with the lower sides and cage which made entry easy for an old geezer like me. This car never showed and cracks or failure in the body or frame the whole time I owned it. When I sold it a couple of years ago ( to build another car for the wife ), I felt safe in knowing that the new owner would be safe and happy for years to come.

If you get a hankering for a new "different buggy" then Hawkeye Buggies is the place to go!

Neil also make a long body Buggy. The graceful lines and lower sides are perfect for so I bought the first one. Add the tube frame and you have the perfect combination. I designed the Roll cage and Bumpers for the first one.
